May not be the place to find the answer but...

Im not meaning in the naughty sense of the word, but a place where the conversations are less newb, theres generally a higher level of maturity, or even a forum where seasoned rpgers hang out. Any suggestions? I dont mind this forum I've found a 'few' intelligent people come in every now and then, just over the mini trolls and basic conversations regarding gameplay. :facepalm:

LOL This is kind of funny in a couple of ways.

If you think those who troll this forum are immature why would you ask those same people where to find a more mature forum?

Just avoid answering those you find disagreeable to what you expect in an "advlt" conversation. Honestly though, you could have been less condescending about this, you know, to express maturity, mind you. :flamethrower:

forums like that usually have some requirement to join/stay that keeps the kiddies out...i remember a fallout forum that required 50 posts and a moderator review to get access to the rest of the sight; maybe they or someone similar made a site like that?

BREAKING NEWS: ive googled the answer! the site was F3underground, and its since changed names. from a quick once-over, they seem to talk about skyrim as well as fallout. maybe my account still works?

A legitimate question. I have to agree with Pseron Wyrd though I personally don't go there very much.

I think this forum is reasonably mature... if you don't think so, go have a look at say the World of Warcraft forums.. But my thinking is give respect and people usually give it back :)

Well, I don't know how to put this less bluntly, but the question doesn't suggest maturity. :)

I think that the forum here is pretty tame and informative for a gaming forum. I also don't feel that being an advlt makes anyone mature, or that being younger implies immaturity. No, this isn't a "I'm fifteen and I think I'm mature!" statement. :) I'm turning forty next year and work in an environment where I deal with teenagers quite frequently, as well as advlts, and it's my genuine observation that age really doesn't determine whether you can have a decent, non-ego-driven conversation with a person. Life does tend to have a calming effect on people, granted, but it also tends to make people rather immobile when it comes to opinions and beliefs, and cynical and jaded individuals don't really make better discussion partners than someone who may be more enthusiastic and really into a topic.

In short, it's all about the person, not their age.

Oh wow, poll results actually surprised me.. I mean I know lots of younger people play games, but didn't expect to see my age bracket as less than 4%, heck, those of us in our thirties grew up right as video game consoles were booming in the 80's

EDIT: not only that... the elder scrolls series is what, like 17 years old now or so? I figured more would be here who got involved back in the day.

I too have met pleanty of immature, so called advlts Mivo but generally I have noted that experience creates a level of maturity, a thicker skin, a more in depth view on life. I did say I have met a few here but I have found a majority are young. My preference to have discussions with people my own age shouldnt be an issue.

I hope everyone is adding their vote to that poll - it has less than 2,000 total votes, while the http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1252690-skyrim-community-poll/ in Skyrim has over 5,000 votes

This forum is plenty mature and full of skyrim lovers and TES fans. I haven't seen any immaturity personally. Just people loving the game mostly.

Well, consider that people in their 30s and 40s tend to live somewhat busy lives, so unless you work in an IT job, time to spend on forums is somewhat limited and often shared with gaming time. Younger people tend to have more time (they don't feel that way, but nevertheless), so forum audiences may generally be younger than the audience playing the games.

Also, thinking back to the 80s, when I got my first computer in 1985 (I was thirteen then), only three other kids in my class also had a computer. That was only about 10%, though consoles had started to emerge and move into a more mainstream awareness. After 1990, everyone I knew had a computer, but I had started working in the IT field then, so that's not surprising. This was in Germany, so maybe subtract a year or two for the US.

Surprised this hasn’t been locked yet? Oh well, my two cents:

There is no point in complaining about anything on these forums, it changes nothing and just makes you look like a troll yourself. If your half way through someone’s post and you come to the conclusion that they’re immature, stop reading it and browse somewhere else.

I started gaming in 1974 (I was 14 then) playing table-top D&D and then consoles when the Atari 2600 came out. I bought my first PC (an Apple II) shortly after I got the Atari and my first PC game was Ulitma I; I was hooked from that point on with cRPGs. When I worked on mainframes in the late 70s and early 80s, we played D&D on the messaging system on the frames and we built some good rules too. But, when I started heavy on cRPGs, I got away from D&D altogether by 1985, to the disappointment of a few of my diehard D&D friends, who to this day, do not touch cRPGs. Sadly, I think cRPGs are morphing more and more into action/adventure pseudo-RPGs.

By the way, I am 51 years old.

This is not a complaint thread. It is a recommendations thread. Mrs_Pilgrim is asking for recommendations. Those who don't have recommendations should probably not bother to post in this thread.
